[quote=Anonymous]I think this is one of those issues that we won't agree about. Personally, the fact that they single out one, poor student in DC that accomplished what he should have as a motivated and intelligent student. Why not highlight many DC student accomplishments? I believe the way it's being portrayed suggests that he shouldn't have been able to achieve what he did because of his color, single Mom, etc. As though people expect him & his peers to fail but he succeeded! It seems patronizing and thinly-veiled racism. [/quote]
